NEW BUSINESS
K Citizen - Council Fire Services Advisory Ad Hoc Committee
Recommendations - That the City Council discuss the Citizen - Council
Fire Services Advisory Ad Hoc Committee recommendation to remain
with the OCFA as the fire and emergency medical services provider for
the City of Seal Beach and the Committee's recommendation to provide
direction to staff regarding funding options for fire and emergency
medical services, and public safety costs in general, including formal
notification to OCFA that cost reductions are necessary and the need to
increase revenues in order to pay forthose services. The Committee also
found that it is critical for OCFA to minimize program and service
enhancements that result in service charge increases in order for the
City to continue to sustain ongoing annual JPA contract payments
through 2030 in addition to implementing other revenue generation
programs, including a potential ballot measure.

Services Advisory Ad Hoc Committee. She stated that the outcome and committee
recommendation after presentations and analysis was for City to remain in contract
